Interesting... Though their involvement was only on account of how the Libyans were treated by the fascists and the Nazi's. Not because they cared about Jews, as the title points out, and the article explains.
I hate to break this to you, but the United States did not get involved in WWII because we cared about Jews.
Gaining strength? Based on the actions of 17 college kids? I think that’s an exaggeration. Fascism is not gaining strength in the US, it was much more common in the 90s than it is now. Back then you’d see skinhead nazi all the time which were really mostly poser wannabes because it was a fashion trend. But nowadays they’re extremely rare. Kids that age do all sorts of stupid things like this, then they grow up and mature and grow out of it.The incident comes as pro-Palestinian protests at the university intensified this week.
Seventeen activists were arrested by police after occupying an administrative office on Wellington Square on Thursday. All 17 have been released on conditional bail.
Swastikas found in Oxford University lavatories
Swastika graffiti has been found in lavatories at an Oxford University college in the latest incident of anti-Semitism at the university.www.yahoo.com
Fascism isn't gaining strength only in the U.S. DEI, CRT, and other hateful and racist philosophies are thriving in Europe as well. Will the U.S. citizens continue to accept tyranny?
Nobody says the 17 student's were responsible for the Nazi symbols. It could have been any other Pro-Palestinian trouble-maker.
While the Holocaust was a major component of the Nazi regime in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, there were other “wrongs” (or are we to supposed that the Allies were only there to save the Jews)?
Do you think some countries actually are better than other countries? I do. I'm sure we all do. But I don't think that the notion of this automatically leads to fascism... Rather, Fascism is a culture-flaw, similar to many other basic flaws seen in various cultures.
One place where the following of a Nation’s National Mythos led directly to fascism was the place we were talking about. I did not mean that all nationalism winds up as fascist, eventually, but only where it is actively encouraged to grow.
Fascism requires the State to be paramount over the individual citizen, which is usually seen as “okay” in fascist states because the mythos demands that “good citizens” agree with whatever comes forth from the Leader, no matter the issue.
Just because we in the USA have had it mostly our own way since 1945, it does not follow that this is the natural order of things nor that we’re the de facto “good guys”.
Or anybody at all, really. There is no established connection between the graffiti and the demonstrations. We don't even know when the graffiti appeared.
It is not Nazi at all.
This is just nonsense. There is no killing going on in Oxford, just a peaceful demonstration against the current warfare waged by Israel. The same opposition can be seen everywhere, even in Israel.
We are the good guys. The good guys with Grey hats. A flawed nation who at times has done the wrong things for tge right reason. A nation who has done too much sometimes and done to little sometimes. A nation governed by the people of individual states. Where ideas flourish and each state can determine its own culture and governance. We aren't a dictatorship. We are not imperialist. We try to balance taking care of our citizens without over burdening others who don't want to be. We are a wild and whacky place filled with wild and whacky people. We gave so many different cultures within our own it's a wonderful place where people will do anything to get here. People don't do that when a country is the bad guy.
Nazism has always been a part of the Palestinian movement. It nay not be as overt as waiving red and white flags with a swastika, but they have always had a tie with it.

Exactly that's why I Saif I have no idea who did it. Maybe it was anyone else but them. Maybe it was one of them.
Haha, yes, the KGB, those notable fascists of the Soviet Union.
That's because many protesters aren't very informed. All they know is wealthy = bad and poor = victim, 100% of the time always and everywhere... And that's the extent of it for many of them, making up their entire worldview.
They're mostly immature, young adults... You really expect sophisticated, highly developed insight coming from them?
I don't think 'sophisticated, highly developed insight' always comes with maturity. But, as you say, they are adults and so must be given appropriate respect - not dismissed as if they were, say, children - or fools.
